I bought my 525 (exact spec as this one) about the same time as you made this video, looks like I made a good choice. I've just had my first fault with it after 10-15,000 shots, the lower barrel firing pin became pitted and started having "fail to fire", got a new pin and spring (£28) fitted it myself, 40 minutes including giving it a good clean, job done!

Same exact situation here, after a ton of shells , many many I shoot year around clays skeet,trap , sporting clays and upland birds,doves etc. my firing pin became Pitts, failed to fire, just a tiny dent in shell primer. Took to gunsmith he replaced spring, firing pins and it was back in business

Great Video! I recently fail in the river duck hunting any Citori wouldnt recock the barrels. I worked and worked on the gun but was unsure how to "FULLY" tear it down. This video walked me through everything and with a REALLY GOOD CLEANING the Browing Citori is back in action!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank You for your content!!

Just bought my 1st gun, a 525 made way back in 2011. It was this review that swayed me from the Miroku, that and the price and the adjustable comb. The silver pigeons were a good 1/4" too low in the comb for me. Used it for the first time yesterday, and used your other 525 vid to remove the ejectors when cleaning the gun. I couldn't believe the crud that was in the rebates in the back of them. Keep up the good work. You're right about the sound when it closes Jon, a reassuringly solid clunk. Could do with a review of (well) used .22 rim fires, a "what to look for" "best value for money", type thing, I got an FAC with my SGC :-)

A good idea would be to show what you do from start to finish when someone brings in their gun for a regular service. I think people are put off taking their gun a for a service at all as they don’t know what happens and if it is even worth it. I have had my gun for two years now from brand new and would love to know if I should take it for a service but not knowing what goes on fills me with dread! Thanks!

A little trick I always do when changing the very powerful ejector or mainsprings is to loosely tie a piece of cardboard or paper to the spring, then if it does fly across the workshop it doesn't bounce very far and is easy to find.

After watching this video multiple times I finally bit the bulle... err... cartridge... and bought one on Saturday. Chopped in my 690 for it, cool configuration with an adjustable comb and trap forend. Basically a boring Ultra XS.. Yet to shoot it but feels fantastic in the hand and fits like a gun. Cheers for the in-depth review Jonny, helped massively!

Many years ago I was shooting International Skeet with a very good shooter. He had an early 325 that was brought in from Europe. His reason for going with that particular 325 was because on our side of the pond all 325's had the new at the time over bore barrels and he being someone that liked 32 inch barrels wanted something lighter. When he got the gun he sent the barrel set out to a shop and had the forcing cones lengthened and the bores taken out to .735 from .729 which changed the handling of the gun a fair amount to the better. Other Browning and Beretta guns by comparison were much more sluggish.

The hammers are cocking but the trigger isn't biting for a few clicks every 3rd or 4th time I load...cycle the safety and it works...something to do with the inertia block? Replace safety spring thingy maybe? Trying to diy so I have it for the next shoot rather than leaving her with a gunsmith

I have a 525 sporting that has run through 10's of thousands of rounds, and found my did the same thing. I adverted the problem, albeit, only a short time, by shooting the top barrel first. But, only helped temporarily. Then, I changed the Hammer Springs, AND firing pins. The original hammer spring was almost 1/4" shorter than the new one. When changed, there was definitely a more "positive" sound dry firing. On the range, issue went away.

I bought a brand new 525 5 months ago. Only used it twice due to Covid 19 restrictions. It has fired 250-300 cartridges. Eley, 28gr 7.5s. Both firing pins are already pitted, bottom one worse than top. I am very disappointed. I picked the 525 over the 686 because the 525 fits me better but the issues with browning/mirouku firing pins is still here is 2020. Dont know what to do with it.

I have shot mine loads since and it hasn't missed a beat dispite the pitting. It is certainly an issue with Brownings but thankfully from what I've been told, they rarely cause problems.
